Brown Bread and Mind Cure.
From the Boston Globe.


The beneficial effect of the mind cure pro-
cess is shown by the experience OF a young
man who hes been "bucking the tiger" in
Portland. Me-, and had met with the usual
run of bad luck. He started in with over
500, and at the close of the sitting he had
but 25c. remaining This sum was not
enough for stake, and so the unfortunate
PLAYER left the den in search of some other
turn of luck Not far from the gambling
house he met an acquaintance who COM
planned of a very troublesome disorder in
his nervous system and asked advice on the
subject. The ganlester thought it over and
finally made an agreement to meet his friend
later, after which he departed in search of
food. Baked beans and brown bread made
I'D his fare While eating he mechanically
rolled some of the bread into ball, then an
idea flashed upon him. He proceeded to
roll the bread into good-sized pills, until he
had made thirty six of them, all of which he
took to his suffering friend, and after Civ
ing directions regarding their use received s.
for three dozen. With this money he sped
to the gambling table, and in a short time
won $50. A few weeks afterward he met
his friend aid received his blessing for
effecting so speedy a cure OF his trouble.
Pink gums and mouth and dazzling teeth,
And breath of balms and lips of rose
Are found not in this world beneath
With young or old, save only those
Who ever wisely while they may,
Use SOZODONT by night and day.

women, in the absence OF their husbands,
who were away at work, were compelled to
carry the water, found the same a great
burden, and often many OF them rlsked
leaving their little children in their houses
to care fer themselves while they went to
the pump. The indifference OF the authorl-
ties made the people mad, and they sent a

We can get the pump fixed for S2.25,"

neighbors the encouragement they received

are mostly of the hard-working class,

Mr. Collins was employed by them to fix
the pump, which he did at a cost Of s2.25,
and made good profit at that.
This is but one Of the many stories heard

can't fix the pumps for lack OF funds,
while, II the papers on file are correct, the
